Summary

It is only a theory, of course, that natural selection has molded the major adaptive ecological and behavioral traits of plants and animals, but recent research in that direction has excited interest in such topics as optimal foraging, kin selection and inclusive fitness, sex ratio, and the application of game theory to evolutionary problems. These and others are explored for graduate and advanced undergraduate students of biology who have at least a passing acquaintance with elementary calculus.
